I can’t cope, i’m on my 6th outbreak since my diagnosis in may. How is that even possible? I’ve literally just been a week maximum without any sores, itching etc.

Can someone help,

 give me advice on how to stop them.

Is it maybe the time to start using valtrex everyday?

This is so awful, i have not accepted the diagnosis yet either and it makes it hard when I feel like I AM herpes instead of feeling like I just have it and it’s no big deal.

    The duration of a herpes outbreak depends on how quickly your body can fight the outbreak and whether you take antiviral medication to speed up recovery. As a general rule, the first ever herpes outbreak tends to be the most severe. In some cases, it can take 2 - 3 weeks to heal completely. Subsequent outbreaks are usually less severe and pass within a few days.

    You can take an actual TREATMENT that will minimazed the virus <you can contact me if you want detalies>  from your body at maximum and when you do that you can also:

    Keep the area clean to avoid infection. You can use water or salt water to wash the affected area.

    You can use an ice pack wrapped in a towel to reduce pain and soothe your skin.

    Drink plenty of fluids - this will dilute your urine and make passing urine less painful.

    Avoid tight clothing as it may irritate the blisters and sores further.
